                  Good bike!
                  Bajaj service is really good and pocket friendly. The bike gives excellent mileage of around 43-47 kmpl easily. It has good comfort for highway as well as city rides. Abs works really well during rains, handling is very good, gearbox is smooth. Its bajaj so the engine is very refined. Its very good for a first vehicle.

                  Hello iam Aabid Hassan from Baramulla
                  I chose the bike because it was pocket friendly for me and full filled the criteria that i was looking for further the service stations were easily accessible for me. For the road conditions that i usually ride on its lightweight and smooth handling provided me a comfort which was better then other bikes of the segment. The ride was very good and comforting. I have been to a long ride around 200 kilometres away from my home to Sonmarg where for a long time the road was smooth but after I crossed Srinagar the road became bumpy but thanks to my bike the back pain came no where near which I had earlier experienced on my hero honda cbz. Yes absolutely. This bike is very good easily manageable in tragic which I usually ride in and if the road gets a bit off road it can carry you to your destination easily and safely. It's shockers are very good especially on the roads which are under construction.

                  Perfect Blend of Style & Power
                  I select the Ather scooter because it's super fast. It is totally modern design, fantastic look, smart features, and friendly electric power. It promised a smooth ride and advanced technology that fit my daily commute super perfectly. The riding of the Ather 450X has been amazing, smooth acceleration, looks nice, great handling, and a silent motor. This scooter has a digital dashboard and it is best for night trips, effortless and enjoyable. Yes, I highly recommend the Ather to all. I love its new, stylish look, powerful everythink, and environmentally friendly electric scooter. Its smart features and efficient performance make it a top choice for city commuters.

                  I wanted a dependable city bike with low running costs. Researching online and visiting showrooms, Star City Plus stood out for its fuel efficiency and ease of handling. The final decision was easy after a short test ride. Star City Plus is simple and practical. I can easily manage traffic and city roads, and the seat is comfortable. Mileage is impressive. It’s decent on highways, not very fast. Service staff are polite and responsive. I use the Star City Plus for daily office rides. It’s very comfortable and handles city traffic smoothly. Mileage is excellent, though top speed is moderate. On highways, it feels stable. After-sales service has been prompt whenever I needed support.

                  Perfect for Daily Office and Home Use
                  I wanted a bike for office and home use. TVS Star City Plus looked strong and smart. My cousin has one and said it is very useful. The cost was okay for me. I also liked that it has tubeless tyres and electric start. It looked like a full value for money bike for me. That is why I picked it. So far the ride is smooth. I go to work and return daily without any issue. Even on bad roads the bike does not shake much. I like how soft the seat is. Once I rode for 3 hours without stop and it was still fine. Fuel cost is very low. I clean it weekly and it still looks new. For sure. I already told my neighbour to try this. It is great for simple use. No problem with engine. If you want a bike that gives value and comfort then this is the one. Good for city and even for small long rides. It is not too fast but very reliable. I am happy I chose this bike.
